		Powell and Pressburger reached the peak of their popularity, and their artistic powers, during wartime, which probably accounts for the fact that so much of their output was devoted to stories of war and espionage.
		Powell and Pressburger, beginning with a half-completed script, shot in the lowlands of the Fen country and, as always, kept the details as realistic as possible, making for a film as poetically charged and exciting as it is carefully observed.
		Ultimately, Powell and all his intrepid collaborators from Pressburger on down have had the last laugh on the little men he called the "chair polishers." They are long forgotten, while the name of Michael Powell, and that of everyone else he brought into his magic circle, burns more brightly with each passing year.

		The background on Powell's Internet Freedoms nuance is that in February of 2004, the former chairman publicly stated the four tenets that are at the base of the current network neutrality debate.
		Powell also said that tech-heads should "be careful" about competing with the telcos in lobbying and legislative fights.
		Instead, Powell suggested finding technical ways around the problem, perhaps starting new networks that might find private funding, because, he said, the government is not going to "be the cavalry" and build new networks.

		Never mind that Powell was the very model of the modern technocrat, a man of the world who had heretofore seemed disdainful of the very idea of regulating media content.
		In analyzing Michael Powell's newfound dedication to decency, it is useful to consider the career of his father, Colin Powell, the much-admired, much-humiliated secretary of state who will soon be replaced by Condoleezza Rice.
		One is to foster competition -- and Powell sees deregulation as part of that, as it would put broadcasters in a better position to compete with newer forms of media, such as satellite and cable (never mind that the same few megacorporations dominate in those media as well).

	Walter Reade Theater, Lincon Center, NYC
		Powell is one of a handful of directors who energized the medium and redefined its limits and possibilities with each new movie.
		Powell's remarkable film about voyeurism, cinema, and the thin line between a passion for art and madness, was received with such harrowing negativity ("From its slumbering mildly salacious beginning to its appallingly masochistic and depraved climax, it is wholly evil") that he was more or less left for dead as a filmmaker.
		Powell and Pressburger reached the peak of their popularity, and artistic powers during wartime, which probably accounts for the fact that so much of their output was devoted to stories of war and espionage.

		Michael Powell’s problem much of the time is that he’s a better lawyer than he is a politician."
		Undoubtedly it has not escaped Powell’s attention that the Parents Television Council is an active participant in the unusual liberal-conservative coalition that opposes his plans to deregulate ownership still further.
		It was yet another setback for Michael Powell, a man who came into office with a technocrat’s vision, who sees regulation as part of the past, who’d rather talk about WiFi and voice-over Internet and digital television than about old-fashioned issues such as government regulation of content.

	Michigan Telephone, VoIP and Broadband blog: Michael Powell thinks the political process is broken
		To some degree the big corporations were always able to get their way, but nowadays it almost seems that politicians put their vote up for bids and vote according to the wishes of the highest bidder.
		The other problem is that politicians are, by and large, some of the most damnable liars you will ever encounter, especially prior to an election.
		We are like that with politicians - we know, somewhere, that they most likely got into politics to advance their own self interests, but we expect them to at least make some sort of pretense of being genuinely interested in us, and to even vote as if our interests matter to them.

		Powell, a former antitrust lawyer at the Justice Dept., may be a brilliant visionary, but he has turned out to be less of a diplomat and politician than his father, Secretary of State Colin Powell.
		Though Powell had the support of the two Republican commissioners as well as business lobbyists, he never made a case for why relaxing rules on media mergers was in the public interest.
		Powell advocated sweeping deregulation that would have quickly eliminated rules that the Baby Bells claimed were allowing competitors to offer service over their network below cost.

		In analyzing Michael Powell’s newfound dedication to decency, it is useful to consider the career of his father, Colin Powell, the much-admired, much-humiliated secretary of state who will soon be replaced by George W. Bush’s pliant national-security adviser, Condoleezza Rice.

		Powell's parents were the biggest influences in his decision to pursue a career in government, although he insists that there was never pressure to follow Dad into the Army.
		Powell concedes that his agenda might not make him a hero among public advocates and media watchdogs, but he says his goal is only to be "respected" when his term is up.
		Powell has repeatedly voiced skepticism about the public benefit of the restrictions but nevertheless describes himself as a moderate Republican who "bristles" at the suggestion that all regulation is bad regulation.

	FCC's Powell keeps mum on broadband bill position
		Powell characterized the industry as now far too focused on the Bell versus newcomer arguments to the point of overlooking the importance that newer technologies such as e-mail, instant messaging, and wireless pose to local telecom.
		Powell moved on to stress his current zeal for transforming the FCC from an agency that heavily regulates to one that instead uses stiffer fines and penalties to police anti-competitive behaviors among entrenched telecoms.
		Powell said he is fairly confident lawmakers will move forward on new legislation designed to let the FCC levy larger fines as a way to use enforcement as a more effective means of preserving telecom competition during deregulation of the industry.

		Powell: Howard, the only thing I would ask is that if we're going to be fair is that the commitment to the indecency provisions is not Republican or Democrat.

		Powell was on TDS a while back, and i was just waiting for him to disavow some of the shit he'd said earlier, or at least maybe admit he'd been mistaken, or acknowledge he might be a wee bit angry at being the UN fall guy.
		Colin Powell lost me in the aftermath of the First Gulf War, when he justified--without any sign of remorse--the US standing by and doing nothing while Saddam's forces were crushing the revolt in the South, often within sight and sound of US forces on the KUwait-Iraq border.

		Powell, who maintained a light regulatory hand as the nation's chief media watchdog but collected some of the largest indecency fines against U.S. broadcasters, plans to issue a statement but was not expected to hold a formal news conference, this official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
		Powell, the son of Secretary of State Colin Powell, became an FCC commissioner in 1997, and was elevated to chairman in 2001 by President George W. Bush.
		Among Powell's accomplishments are the establishment of a No-Call registry that lets consumers block telemarketing calls and a rule enabling wireless customers to keep their phone numbers when they switch companies.

		Because of his public proclamation of the Freedoms — and some timely action taken last year — Powell said that there are no perceptible transgressions against consumers, and that service providers would now be “crucified” by their customers should they try to limit access to the Internet.
		When Powell made the Freedoms declaration here at the Silicon Flatirons program two years ago, he said that there were many unanswered questions about how service providers might or might not limit competing applications that would run across their broadband lines.
		But Google, Powell said, is right not to pay any more money than it has to until it is either legally forced to, or it sees a business sense in doing so.
